Contradiction

Needs resolving:

"In 1987, Kent left the priesthood ... ."

"In 1992 Kent was a candidate for the Labour Party in the constituency of Oxford West and Abingdon, where he came third. Had he been elected, he would at the time have been prevented, as an ordained priest, from taking his seat in the House of Commons."

Not to mention that fact that he married in 1988... —Muzilon (talk) 06:24, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The text now says "In 1987 Kent retired from active ministry, rather than comply with an instruction from Cardinal Basil Hume to desist from involvement in the 1987 UK general election in accordance with the canon law of the Catholic Church" I'm not sure there's any contradiction.

External link?

Would an interview with transcript with Bruce Kent from 1987 be useful here as an external link? Focus of conversation is nuclear weapons policy. http://openvault.wgbh.org/catalog/V_D6186A06D99F4F4F8FDFEF367B48E6D7 (I have a conflict of interest; otherwise I would add it myself.)
